第一章管理与组织导论一、谁是管理者?(1)管理者的定义管理者是这样的人,他通过协调和监督他人的活动达到组织目标。
他的工作不是取得个人成就,而是帮助他人完成任务。
管理者的工作可能意味着协调一个部门的工作,也可能意味着监督几个单独的个人,还可能包含一个团队的活动.(2)组织中管理人员的等级层次管理人员按层次分为基层管理者,中层管理者,高层管理者.1)基层管理者是最底层的管理人员,他们管理着非管理雇员所从事的工作,即生产产品和提供服务.2)中层管理者包括所有处于基层和高层之间的各个管理层次的管理者,这些管理者管理着基层管理者。
3)高层管理者是处于或接近组织顶层的管理人员,他们承担着制定广泛的组织决策、为整个组织制定计划和目标的责任.二、什么是管理?管理通过协调和监督他人的活动,有效率和有效果地完成工作。
管理活动强调效率和效果。
效率是指“正确地做事”,即不浪费资源,以尽可能少的投入获得尽可能多的产出;效果是指“做正确的事”,即所从事的工作和活动有助于组织达到其目标.效率注重过程,效果注重结果.因此,管理当局不能只是关注达到和实现组织目标,也就是关注效果,还要尽可能有效率地完成工作.三、管理者做什么?(1)管理的四个职能1)计划是指定义目标,制定战略以获取目标,以及制定计划和协调活动的过程。
2)组织是指安排工作以实现组织目标的职能。

4)控制是指监控,比较,纠正。
为了保证达成目标和工作按照预定的轨道进展,管理者必须监控、评估工作绩效,实际的绩效必须与预先设定的目标进行比较,如果存在任何显著的偏差,管理当局的职责就是使工作绩效回到正常的工作轨道上来。
(2)明茨伯格的管理角色理论(09简述)管理角色是指特定的管理行为类型。

罗宾斯管理学第九版课后思考题答案详解

罗宾斯管理学人大第九版课后思考题答案第一章1.是的。
他也要进行计划,组织,领导,控制。
他是一个领导者和监听者。
他拥有沟通技能和人际技能。
2.因为每一个组织都有自己的目标,目标的体现就表现在员工的绩效,所以说管理者的最基本的职责是关注员工的工作绩效。
还应注重效率。
3.职位候选人的技能分为技术技能,人际技能和概念技能。
作为雇主他不可能同时所有能力,所以雇主需要聘请其他人来帮忙。
这给我的启示是要提升自己各方面的能力。
4.没有的。
管理是一门艺术,每个人都有自己的特色,没有最佳的。
如果有最佳的,人们不就都往这方面发展了,那有什么意思。
5.新型组织的动态,灵活性,根据任务定义工作,团队导向等特征有兴趣。
因为这些特征可以促使企业更灵活,能够根据市场情况更快的作出反应。
有利于提高雇员的劳动积极性,促进雇员间的团队意识,合理高效地完成任务。
但我对雇员参与决策制定,在任何地点、任何时间工作,工作日长没有限制等特征不感兴趣。
因为如果过多的给予员工太多的自由,不仅不会使他们的工作效率上升,反而还会让他们感到没有压力,进而变得懒散,工作效率反而会下降。
并且过于宽松的环境也不利于管理者的管理。
而雇员参与决策的制定在一定程度上可以团结员工,但却会带来很大的弊端,因为雇员的思考方向是有利于自己的,而不会考虑整个企业的发展,并且雇员无法了解企业的整体情况,不能作出最好的决策。
不过总体上来说,新型组织在原有的基础上取得了很大的进步。
6.在今天的环境中,单从效率和效果而言,效果对组织更重要。
因为效果通常是指“做正确的事”,即所从事的工作和活动有助于组织达到其目标。
而效率是指以尽可能少的投入获尽可能多的产出。
在如今的社会中,具有高效率和高效果则企业将立于不败之地,正如UPS。
但要在二者择其一时,效果显然更重要,如果所做的工作不能达到组织的目标,那么所做的事就等于白做,即使是再高的效率也没用。
就像以前中国的很多企业虽然资源利用率低,但只要能达到顾客的要求,它们仍然能够在市场上生存。

罗宾斯《管理学》课后习题(决策)【圣才出品】

第2章决策一、思考题1.为什么决策经常被描述为管理者工作的本质?答:决策是指为了实现某一目的而制定行动方案并从若干个可行方案中选择一个满意方案的分析过程,它具有目标性、选择性、可行性、过程性和动态性。
决策是管理的核心,是管理者工作的本质,管理的各项职能(计划、组织、领导、控制和创新)都离不开决策,决策贯穿于管理的全过程和各个方面。
管理实际上是一个不断地作出决策和实施决策的过程,如果没有决策,也就没有了管理。
一切管理职能中都渗透着决策职能,无论是计划、控制、组织,还是人事、沟通、激励,都离不开决策这一职能,每一个管理者都必须掌握并运用决策职能。
(1)计划工作的每一个环节都涉及决策,如目标的确立、预测方法和分析方法的选取、行动方案的选择等都离不开决策。
(2)组织、领导、控制等管理职能的发挥也离不开决策,如组织结构形式、部门化方式的选择,职责和权限的分配,以及各职位人员的选配等,这些都是组织工作中的决策问题。
而人员配备以后如何加以使用和激励,这属于领导职能,也同样有一系列的决策要作。
至于控制职能中,绩效标准的制定,实际成绩与绩效标准之间偏差容许范围的确定,以及纠正偏差措施的选择等方面,也都需要进行决策。
因此,决策贯穿于整个管理过程。
在一次管理循环中,计划是开端,实施决策过程中的控制是终点,自始至终都是离不开决策的。
(3)一切管理人员都是决策者,都必须在自己的职责范围内作出决策,实施决策。
决策是一切管理者都要承担的基本任务。
公司的总经理、董事长是决策者,车间的班组长、工段长也是决策者,不同的只是决策内容。
(4)正确的决策能够指导组织沿着正确的方向、合理的路线前进,克服所遇到的困难和解决遇到的问题等;而错误的决策会使组织走上错误的道路,使组织的正常发展受到影响,降低组织的发展速度,严重者甚至可能会使组织遭到毁灭性的打击。
因此可以说,决策正确,相当于行动成功了一半。
现代企业管理学认为,企业管理的重点是在经营,而经营的中心又是决策。

第12章人力资源管理12.1中文答案详解一、思考题1.人力资源管理如何影响所有的管理者?答:人力资源对管理者的影响主要表现在以下几个方面:(1)人力资源管理涉及对管理者本身的管理管理者的绩效考核、薪酬与福利获得,以及职业发展都离不开人力资源管理。
管理者也是企业的员工,尤其是作为中低层的管理者,他们也需要相应的人力资源管理。
绩效考核可以督促管理者更加有效的开展团队工作。
薪酬与福利管理以及职业发展可能会影响到管理者的员工满意度,进而影响着他们对公司的贡献程度和忠诚度。
(2)人力资源管理是管理者成功管理的关键一个组织的素质在很大程度上取决于它所聘用和保留的员工的素质。
公司必须确保自身拥有高素质的员工,有足够的人选填补重要的管理职位。
不论一个组织是刚开始经营还是已经营了数年,吸引和保留有能力的员工是每一个组织成功的关键。
如果一个组织没有认真负责地进行人力资源管理,绩效和目标的达成就有可能受到损害。
(3)人力资源关系到对管理者下属员工的管理“我们的员工是我们最重要的资产。
”许多组织都用此话或类似的语言来表达员工在组织成功中所起的重要作用。
这些组织还认识到,所有的管理者必须介入某些人力资源管理活动,即便是在设立了专门的人力资源管理部门的大型组织中也是这样。
这些管理者要对应聘者进行面试,引导上岗新员工,并评估员工的工作绩效。
2.雇主有权不受政府干预选用员工吗?请论证你的观点。
答:雇主无权不受政府干预选用员工。
政府对雇主雇佣员工进行干预,通常涉及几个方面的考虑:一是出于社会福利的考虑,如强制要求接受一些弱势群体就业;二是出于社会就业公平的考虑,为了保证所有的劳动者有一个比较公平的就业环境,政府会对一些影响公平就业或歧视性雇佣行为予以制止;三是出于一国经济安全的考虑,对于涉及国家重大经济安全或其他安全的雇佣行为,政府有权进行干预;四是为了维护市场人才竞争的公平,政府需要进行相应的干预。
雇主选用员工时不可以完全按照自己的意愿行事,必须受到政府相关部门的合法干预。
可以从以下几个方面进行理解:(1)政府干预有利于保证劳动力供给市场的公平竞争如果企业可以完全按照自己的意愿进行人才雇佣,围绕就业的走后门、行贿受贿现象就会更加广泛,使得一些不具有某种特殊社会关系的人才遭到不公平竞争的排斥,同时,不受约束的雇佣行为还可能对某一群体实施歧视行为,包括相貌歧视、性别歧视、家庭背景歧视和残疾歧视等。
(2)政府宏观经济调控行为的需要一个组织在其运营发展过程当中,是由多种复杂的行为组合而成的。
全部的组织行为都应该在遵守政府相关法律法规的前提下进行,这就要求组织的发展目标与社会的和谐发展相一致。
雇主选用员工属于组织行为的一个组成部分,自然要受到政府宏观调控的影响,接受政府的合法干预。
(3)政府雇佣干预行为的存在源于企业的社会责任企业作为一个具有较大影响力的社会团体,理应担负起一定的社会责任,包括:协助政府稳定市场就业率、接受一定数量的特殊弱势群体实现就业、为更多的人提供就业机会等。
(4)自由雇佣存在着很多自身难以克服的问题自由雇佣本身的随意性和争夺人才的强烈动机有可能导致人才市场的混乱或频繁跳槽与违约行为的发生,从而加重企业获取人才的管理成本,同时还容易促发同行业间的敌对行为。
综上所述,政府在雇佣过程中的干预行为是必要的。
3.一些评论家声称,公司的人力资源部门已经失去了作用,它帮助不了员工,但是可以使组织免遭法律问题。
你对此有什么看法?正式的人力资源管理过程有什么优点和缺点?答:这种说法是不正确的。
(1)人力资源管理的作用具有广泛性,具体包括:对当前的人力资源状况进行评价;对职务进行具体分析,确定职务需求与职务行为,编制职务说明书和职务规范;招聘和解聘;员工培训;员工绩效考核;薪酬和福利管理;使得组织的人力资源管理过程符合法定程序。
因此,法律方面的作用只是人力资源管理过程承担的部分功能。
(2)正式的人力资源管理过程中,人力资源规划、招聘、甄选可确保组织识别和选聘有能力,且与组织职位相适应的员工,人才是企业重要的竞争要素之一;上岗培训和培训可以使得员工的技能和知识不断得到更新,以适应组织的不断发展;绩效考核、薪酬福利、职业发展设置则保证组织能长期保有高绩效水平的能干、杰出的员工。
人力资源部门关注的是一系列范围广泛的职能,对法律方面的考虑也纳入了这些人力资源的职能。
正式人力资源管理过程能够保证员工的权利受到法律的保障,促进公平和尊重所有员工的权利和福利的态度。
4.研究显示,女性的薪资仍然比男性的低。
尽管有了平等就业的法律和条例,可支付给女性的只是给男性的76%。
你会设计出什么样的薪酬制度来解决该问题?答:题中涉及的问题是性别的歧视问题,虽然有了平等就业的法律和条例,但在薪酬的制定中还是对女性产生了歧视。
为了解决该问题,薪酬制度的制定应该遵守以下原则:(1)遵照国家和地方有关部门关于劳动工资的有关法令政策,包括最低(工资)生活标准,反性别歧视、劳动加班等。
(2)薪酬制度的制定要使绩效考核结果与员工的薪酬紧密相连,而不是与性别有关。
(3)在考核上不能说因为员工是女性就一定要受到照顾,更不能因为该员工是男性,就一定认为做同样的工作一定比女性做得出色。
(4)在考核上一定要有统一的标准。
按统一的评价结果,按统一的工资标准,在评价的时候按统一的指标来打分。
不要有人为因素出现,比如打分时不能因为看到是男的打得就多,女的打得就少,这种行为属于性别歧视。
(5)在薪酬制定过程中,无论是按照能力薪酬制度,还是等级薪酬制度,都要根据客观的因素来制定,不能带有性别的歧视性。
综上所述,在制定薪酬制度时,首先在进行薪酬调查时,不论是薪酬调查的对象、选择的工作应在的层次、职能领域等都不应该涉及到性别的差异。
其次,对于薪酬的定位,企业结合的是管理价值观、竞争策略、付酬实力等因素。
经过调整后制定的工资结构线,不仅要兼顾内外在公平性等因素,而且也不应该涉及性别问题。
再次,在对薪酬分级时,根据的是每一项工作其相对价值所对应的工资值,而不能有性别上的差异。
最后,要注意的是,从事同一工作的员工的薪酬差异是由在技能、经验、资源占有、工作效率等方面的差异造成的,而不是由于性别导致的差异。
总之,在制定薪酬制度时按照上述要求,就可以解决性别的歧视问题。
5.你认为推行弹性福利会有什么问题?(从组织和员工两个角度思考这一问题)答:弹性福利制是一种有别于传统固定式福利的新员工福利制度。
弹性福利制又称为“自助餐式的福利”,即员工可以从企业所提供的一份列有各种福利项目的“菜单”中自由选择其所需要的福利。
弹性福利制强调让员工依照自己的需求从企业所提供的福利项目中来选择组合属于自己的一套福利“套餐”。
每一个员工都有自己“专属的”福利组合。
另外,弹性福利制非常强调“员工参与”的过程,希望从别人的角度来了解他人的需要。
(1)从组织的角度分析,弹性福利存在的问题主要包括:①根据弹性福利的特点,员工可以自由挑选所喜欢的福利,也就是福利是员工的需要。
这一点使得企业可能要面对员工比较怪异、不能用价值衡量的需要福利,这就给管理工作带来了不便。
因此,为了避免这样的不便,在设计问卷的时候,尽量让员工排除那些比较怪异的东西;②企业要面对员工需求的满足超出公司能力范围之内的问题。
也就是公司无法满足员工需要,而给公司造成了难堪的局面;③企业要面对极少数特殊的员工需要进行满足问题;④员工对福利物品的描述上越详尽越好,这样就便于企业购买,但是这给企业的管理带来了不便。
(2)从员工的角度分析,弹性福利存在的问题主要包括:①福利购买力确定的公平问题。
这里的购买力不是货币购买力,而是一种点数购买力,是一种虚拟信用形式。
具体说来,是通过资历审查、绩效考核等手段确定的标准,评定出员工的购买点数,它具有类似货币的购买力,可以购买福利。
而在购买力点数确定的过程中,员工可能面临标准是否公平的问题;②福利物品定价标准是否准确的问题。
福利品的定价需要根据物品的现实价格,再根据福利点的单价折算成相应的福利点数作为福利品的点数价格。
但是对于不能用货币衡量的物品,如带薪假期等方式,员工要面对这种福利定价是否合理的问题;③员工可能要面对员工购买力不足的问题,即员工本身所积累的点数不足以购买其所需的福利物品的问题。
对于这个问题,公司可以考虑实行分期付款的方法,实行预支。
6.真实工作预览的好处和问题各是什么?(从组织和员工两个角度思考这一问题)答:(1)从组织的角度分析,真实工作预览的好处是:组织可以通过一些有效的方式向求职者提供实际工作的信息,如书面材料、音像等,或允许求职者与在职职员交谈。
这不仅向求职者提供了工作信息,也提供了职业信息,这对提高员工的工作满意度和降低离职率都很有好处。
存在的问题是:对组织来说如果让应聘者知道公司不利的信息,势必会减少公司在招聘过程中的竞争力,即便招到了优秀的员工,这些知道公司不利信息的员工,可能会因此来提高自己的身价,给企业的经济运转带来影响。
(2)从员工的角度分析,真实工作预览的好处是:得到真实工作预览的申请者,会对他们要承担的职务产生合乎实际的、更为现实的工作期望,从而比得到那些经粉饰的信息的申请者对工作可能的挫折有更强的应对能力。
存在的问题是:当新员工发现公司不利方面有可能对自己的职业生涯规划产生不利影响,他们就可能在工作中产生一种压力,产生一种消极怠工的态度,要么其工作效率会降低,要么这类员工会辞职离开公司。
7.在你看来,性骚扰的原因是什么?描述公司如何将工作场所的性骚扰降至最低限度。
答:美国联邦平定就业协会(EEOC)将性骚扰定义为:“不受欢迎的性挑逗、要求发生性关系和其他带有性实质的言语或身体行动,而对这种行为的服从或拒绝多多少少会影响员工的就业,不合理地干扰个人的工作绩效,还会形成一种恫吓、敌对或冒犯的工作环境”。
性骚扰被定义为一种不期望的带有性色彩的行为,它会影响到一个人的就业。
性骚扰可发生于异性的成员之间,也可能发生于同性之间。
